Tuolumne County Superior Court, Sonora, CA 95370
As a mediator in disputes, we often see raw emotions displayed often with anger, resentment.
A recent mediation was with couple who had completed a breakup over a year ago.
The dispute was over the division of personal property acquired with their relationship together over 10 years.
For both, a dog they both loved was important to both. In addition personal property that had memories.
The couple turned to the court, and the court suggested mediation for potential resolution.
3.5 hours of mediation with a pair of trained neutrals, assisted the transition with a written agreement among the disputants.
Mediation does work, and can be effective in partnership disputes.

The Pet Custody Mediator
April 3 2010
As a mediator I have a focus towards disputes with Real Estate. I'm always interested
in other professionals and today discovered a mediator known as "The Pet Custody Mediator"
I once heard comedian Dick Gregory talk about that the selective service was welcome to take his son to fight the war in Vietnam but if he tried to take his dog, we would have a nationwide riot.
In my own breakup, my friend Vicki kept the dogs, I got the cats.
As we are all aware emotions can run high in mediation's and enclosed is the link

Family Real Estate Dispute
The Bay Area Family moved to the California Foothills, they purchased their dream home on acreage.
As time passed they offered their daughter and son in law a site on the 7 acre parcel for building their dream home.
They became neighbors.
As time passed, neighbor to neighbor issues developed, abandoned vehicles, excessive animals, the borrowing of funds to finish the house.
The daughter and her husband talked of a divorce.
The last five years have not been kind to those in the construction-real estate industry and values of real estate in the central valley have seen major price adjustments.
The home is presently worth less than what is owed.
Legal counsel was sought and the attorney has suggested mediation vs litigation.
Jim W Hildreth of Real Estate Mediation Services will serve as the neutral mediator among the family members.
Mediation is an alternative to litigation, it is private and confidential.
"Preserving family relationships" may also play a large role, says Hildreth.

Breaking Up is a Challenge.
Breaking up can be a challenge for any couple. married or not.
What to do with jointly held real estate, the challenges of having different equities.
Who makes the payments? What if one of the parties stops paying the mortgage.
How does negative credit impact future borrowing to start over.
Who keeps the animals. Who pays for feed and veterinary care?
What happens if a partner has lack of funds to buy the other partner out.
Each of these conflicts can be apart of making a transition.
Each of these conflicts may occur in a breakup and as a mediator need to be
discussed to bring about resolve.
Mediation with a neutral who is trained and skilled can open doors in these phase of life issues.
Trust, honesty and listening skills and knowledge of real estate are ingredients
for successful dispute resolution when owning real estate jointly.
Mediation can play an important role vs litigation.

Santa
In 2009, as a Mediator apart of our job was viewing conflicts in various stages, many of those conflicts were resolved by listening to one another in a neutral setting.
Santa is a reminder of the joy of life, the sprit and kindness of the season.
As we approach 2010, Santa will be a reminder that peace is possible and in troubled times the spirit of Santa should guide each of us beyond this Christmas day of 2009.
